Member for Monaro John Barilaro is calling for nominations for the upcoming Monaro Service Awards, a ceremony recognising the Monaro’s community champions.
Mr Barilaro said volunteers make a huge difference in the community, and have changed many people’s lives.
“Hosting the Monaro Service Awards is always the highlight of the year for me. We have some incredible volunteers in the Monaro and this is one small way we can say thank you,” Mr Barilaro said.
“Last year’s Monaro Service Awards saw a number of individuals and organisations, who stepped up during last summer’s devastating bushfires, recognised.
“Whether they were firefighters on the frontline or our wonderful CWA ladies who looked after those displaced by the fires, we have many quiet contributors who make the Monaro a better place to live.
“If you know of a local hero or organisation who would deserve this recognition, I encourage you to nominate them for the Monaro Service Awards.
“I am looking for those who go above and beyond the definition of their role – individuals and organisations that work day in, day out without complaint to better the community,” Mr Barilaro said.
“I look forward to celebrating our community and our wonderful champions with you.”
Nominations are now open, and can be sent to the Monaro Electorate Office via email to monaro@parliament.nsw.gov.au or via post to PO Box 998 Queanbeyan NSW 2620.
Nominations will close on Wednesday, 3 March 2021.
